01:06 Hello and welcome to another 3ABN today cooking program.
01:11 We are the Micheff Sisters.
01:13 I'm Linda.
01:14 I'm Brenda. And I'm Cinda.
01:18 We have an awesome program to you.
01:21 Yes, we do.
01:22 For you today because ready batter up, batter up, swing.
01:29 Take me out to the ball game.
01:34 That's right.
01:35 We're going out and playing ball today.
01:37 Come on now and join us.
01:39 We have a ballpark themed program for you today.
01:44 Yes, we do.
01:45 We're gonna show you things that you can make
01:48 and you could have your own ballpark themed dinner.
01:53 Or you can have a picnic.
01:55 Do you know one of the-- my favorite memories is,
01:58 we always played ball with daddy
02:02 and as a family ever since I can remember and in fact--
02:06 And mom cooked for us.
02:07 And mom cooked. Yes.
02:08 One of, was either David or Catie's birthday
02:12 I had a family themed, ballpark family themed party.
02:18 And we went to-- remember, we went to a local ballpark.
02:23 Daddy was the pitcher.
02:25 I divided everybody up and then--
02:26 I was the one that lost.
02:30 I always lose. Poor, Brenda.
02:32 Nobody want to choose you on their team.
02:35 That's the truth.
02:36 We would go batter up, batter up, and she go-- what?
02:39 Where do, what? Where do I go?
02:40 Which way do I run? Which way do I run?
02:42 Just tell me where to run.
02:44 And we'd be going that way.
02:47 And I'll be running, running, running,
02:48 they keep me all off the field, I didn't know.
02:51 I was like wait a minute.
02:52 Am I supposed to be way out here, when do I quit running?
02:54 Don't quit running, just keep on running.
02:58 I think daddy did those things on purpose to get us exercise
03:01 and you know, 'cause we had a lot of energy, so.
03:05 That was one of the most--
03:07 I mean, the most fun I can remember of the parties.
03:11 I mean, we had so much fun.
03:13 We had all these ballpark themed things.
03:18 I've made hotdogs.
03:20 I like our family reunion that we did one year
03:21 with our whole family was there and we had football.
03:25 Remember, we all played tackle football.
03:27 And it was the funniest things.
03:29 We had to wear these little ribbons in our pocket.
03:31 That was there for, I was tackling people.
03:36 I just like the hurdles because that was fun 'cause you--
03:39 I was having fun tackling everybody.
03:42 I don't actually like it so much
03:44 because I think why fight over one ball
03:46 just give everybody a ball and let them go home
03:47 and have fun, you know.
03:51 Anything you can do that can create a family togetherness
03:55 and bond together is so important,
03:58 because God made families and He made them to be together.
04:02 He wants us to.
04:04 Mom and daddy used to always tell us
04:05 the family that praise together--
04:08 plays together and praise together stays together.
04:11 And so many forget the word play and play is important too.
04:16 God wants us to be happy Christians.
04:18 And you can't be happy Christians
04:20 if you're all just kind of just,
04:21 you know, sad all the time--
04:22 Actually if you play together
04:24 then you are more apt to pray together.
04:28 You know, if you're all playing together
04:30 then it puts you to where you're bonded
04:32 and you feel comfortable praying as a family.
04:33 You know, that's true in our churches today too.
04:36 That's right.
04:37 If our churches would get together and--
04:40 Play together more. Play together more.
04:41 Build relationships and-- Build relationships and--
04:43 Get to know each other.
04:44 And you would have a closer tight knit church.
04:49 To have themed like dinners and get togethers likes this,
04:54 it just makes it more fun.
04:56 And everybody just kind of gets, gets really into it.
05:02 I'm gonna-- I want to-- I want to go to show you,
05:05 what we're going to be preparing.
05:07 But as you are looking at the food that we're doing,
05:10 I want you to see Brenda actually decorate it,
05:13 she may not play sports really good but she can decorate.
05:19 Ah, let's just take a look real quick,
05:21 I'll show you right here.
05:22 I love the way that she decorated
05:25 and you did awesome job.
05:28 Thank you, sis. So let's just show you--
05:30 But I can't take all the credit for that
05:32 because my assistant Melissa Hoffman,
05:34 she was right there we did it together.
05:36 And we had a great time doing stuff.
05:37 Ah, you did awesome job.
05:39 Let's just kind of show--
05:41 show everyone what we're gonna be preparing today?
05:43 That's right.
05:44 We're gonna start out with Redi Sandwich Spread.
05:47 That's right, that's Linda's sandwich spread,
05:49 that's good, sis.
05:50 And then we have Corn Dog Muffins.
05:52 And I admit, I really want to make this,
05:54 because I like the name Corn Dog Muffins.
05:58 Well then I like the name of these too,
06:00 because I love Sriracha, the Hot Sauce.
06:03 This is Sriracha Hot Dog Poppers.
06:06 All right.
06:07 Then we have veggie-- Veggie Dog Sushi.
06:11 That's good.
06:13 And also Ball Park Pinwheels. And those are delicious.
06:17 Thanks, sis.
06:18 And then Home Run Sandwich.
06:23 That's definitely will help you go the distance.
06:27 And what's really exciting?
06:30 All these recipes are in our brand new cookbook.
06:37 The Micheff Sisters Cooking with Kellogg's.
06:40 So if you don't have time to write down all these recipes,
06:45 you can get them on the 3ABN website.
06:48 You can get them on the micheffsisters.com website
06:52 or you can get them in the cookbook.
06:55 That's right. That's right.
06:58 Well, before we get started,
07:00 sis, would you read the recipe for us?
07:02 I sure, for the first recipe
07:03 is Linda's Redi Sandwich Spread.
07:06 For this you'll need:
07:27 Wow. All right.
07:29 That's not a lot of ingredients, is it?
07:30 So--
07:32 It's not, and it's easy to make
07:34 and where I'm using the Redi-Burger.
07:37 This is Loma Linda Redi-Burger.
07:39 And it's different than veggie burger
07:41 because it's more of-- it's softer.
07:43 Thicker.
07:44 It's softer and thicker and it sticks together really easy,
07:47 so it makes a good sandwich spread.
07:49 It sure does. So I put my gloves on.
07:52 Mom used to do something similar to this
07:55 when we were for our luncheons when we were kids.
07:56 Yes.
07:59 Okay, I'm gonna kind of break this apart a little bit.
08:05 Okay.
08:06 And then you girls if you--
08:07 my sisters then you can start putting stuff in.
08:09 I'll get this part and you get the other part.
08:11 It's very, very simple, very easy to do.
08:15 If you noticed I don't even have any seasoning
08:18 because the Redi-Burger has a lot of seasoning in it.
08:21 So you really don't need extra seasoning--
08:24 You love recipes like that.
08:26 And you can actually put anything in here,
08:28 you like your favorite seasoning if you want to.
08:32 If you want to add more seasoning you can
08:34 but you put your favorite vegetable in it too.
08:36 Chopped jalapenos to that.
08:38 You can pretty much do any of it.
08:42 Okay and I just kind of mix it together.
08:44 If you don't have gloves
08:45 just do it with the spatula or whatever,
08:47 but I can get it mixed a lot better.
08:50 Because it's-- it is a little bit thicker
08:52 but and this we'll keep in the fridge.
08:54 You can make it up, you know, on Sunday afternoon
08:58 and you got some sandwich bread for your kids for the next day.
09:01 Those kitchen gloves are really gonna save you,
09:03 I've tried, trust me,
09:04 I went in I was speaking somewhere one weekend
09:06 and when I arrived they like greeted it,
09:08 greeted the door girls, hey, she goes,
09:10 you've got me using kitchen gloves and I love it.
09:15 Well, it is nice. Yeah.
09:17 You can just make a mess
09:18 and then you can just pull your gloves right off.
09:21 That's all, it there is to it.
09:23 And we have one all plated to show you at this time.
09:26 Just put it on any kind of bread or a bun or whatever--
09:29 Yeah, she has chosen
09:30 a whole wheat bun right there to show you.
09:32 And if you are taking it on a picnic,
09:34 you can just leave it in a container
09:36 and let people make it a--
09:38 Make up sandwiches.
09:39 You can have several different kinds of bread.
09:41 And you could let them make their own.
09:44 And one thing I like to do as I make up the sandwich spread
09:46 and then I'll have two or three other sandwich spreads
09:48 and they can have a choice, so--
09:50 That's really nice too. Okay, what's next?
09:51 So my Corn Dog Muffins.
09:54 Muffins. That's right.
09:55 Let me read the recipe. For this you'll need:
10:20 Well, I absolutely love muffins.
10:22 I like just about any kind of muffin.
10:23 And I've learned how to make them
10:26 where they are not as fattening
10:27 because there are so many muffins that,
10:30 if you eat a muffin, it's usually a lot of calories.
10:32 Well, there is a reason why they called the muffin top.
10:38 Just saying.
10:39 Actually I had never thought of that before.
10:44 But these muffins are-- don't have a lot of oil in them.
10:49 So they don't have a lot of fat in them,
10:51 and so they are little healthier muffin,
10:53 but I just, I really love muffins.
10:55 Just enough oil so it doesn't be extra spongy.
10:57 I tried it without any and trust me,
11:00 you know, let me make that mistake for you.
11:02 It was really bad, and nobody wanted it and it was like wad,
11:06 you know like, like we could have really used them.
11:08 We use it for baseball, for practice.
11:10 For balls, yeah, we could have--
11:11 They do get spongy.
11:12 Yeah, it was not good at all.
11:14 But this really is a delicious recipe
11:16 that's easy that to make.
11:18 And I'm gonna ask-- we're gonna use this product over here,
11:21 which is our Loma Linda Linketts
11:23 which by the way just happens
11:25 to be my grandsons' very favorites.
11:27 Jason and Michael's favorites.
11:29 Oh, they love.
11:30 Poor Cinda, I bet she buys these by the case.
11:34 I have to.
11:35 You do, don't you? Oh, I have to.
11:37 Yes, because--
11:38 They were visiting mom this weekend
11:40 and I had to bring some from my house.
11:44 There really is not a meal
11:45 almost without the Loma Linda Linketts.
11:46 It has to be the Loma Linda Linketts.
11:47 Their favorite thing, well, one of their favorite things
11:50 at my house is they build a fire
11:53 in our fire pit and they roast their hot dogs.
11:56 In fact someone asked me
11:57 if I would show a picture of my grandsons.
12:02 Because we talked about them so much
12:03 so let's just put up a picture really quick
12:05 and show this is what--
12:07 this is Michael and Jason right here.
12:10 Michael's the older one and he is almost 14
12:14 and Jason is the younger brother and he is almost 9.
12:17 Can you believe that?
12:18 They are sweet hearts. They are sweet hearts.
12:20 No.
12:21 Well, and honestly she's got so much patience,
12:24 she's got this big fire pit
12:26 and they absolutely love going to Aunty Cinda,
12:29 she is Aunty Cinda.
12:30 And I love having them. They do.
12:33 So anyway they're gonna love this recipe I know for sure.
12:36 So, Cinda, you're gonna take the Linketts
12:37 and you're gonna just cut
12:38 some small rounds, just small slices.
12:42 Linda, you're gonna be in charge
12:43 of dumping all the ingredients right in here.
12:45 You want the dry first?
12:46 All the dry, you just put all that dry.
12:48 And while you're putting that dry together,
12:50 I'm just gonna go ahead and mix my oil
12:53 and almond milk together.
12:55 Make the spread, it's right here.
12:57 And some salt, baking powder
12:59 and this must be cornstarch huh?
13:01 Yes.
13:02 And the cornstarch is what we use
13:04 instead of eggs, you know with-- it's a--
13:07 The binder.
13:08 Binder, it's like the egg replacer.
13:10 And there's a lot of people,
13:11 you can buy egg replacer in the stores,
13:13 but really don't waste your money.
13:15 You can-- you don't have to have egg replacer.
13:18 You can just use cornstarch,
13:19 it's so much-- more cost effective.
13:22 It isn't expensive. Yeah.
13:24 I just use a cornstarch.
13:26 And we've used it for years, our momma used it,
13:29 so as soon as you get that mix together, sis, let me know.
13:33 You know what?
13:34 That just reminded me you said--
13:35 Yeah.
13:36 We keep saying, our mom did this, our mom taught this.
13:39 Let's put a picture of mom up here.
13:40 We should put up a picture of mom up there.
13:42 But where I was going with this is mom's out there
13:47 and grandmas and even if you don't have children.
13:50 I bet you know children cook with them,
13:54 invite them in your kitchen and cook with them,
13:56 look where we learned everything?
13:58 Our momma. And grandma.
14:00 And grandma, so seriously--
14:02 Our grandma taught our mom to cook.
14:04 Cook with the children. So that's how they learn.
14:06 Best things in life are passed down like that.
14:08 That's right. Exactly.
14:10 That's right, we had so much fun now.
14:12 Okay, I'm ready.
14:13 I had David and Catie in the kitchen.
14:15 Now, I have Jason and Michael in the kitchen.
14:17 Yes, you do. All the time.
14:19 Okay, I'm ready. You do, okay.
14:22 Here you go and just you can use this.
14:25 We're gonna-- I'm just gonna mix with this.
14:26 Okay. And we use that in a minute.
14:30 And you don't have to have a--
14:32 that's the other thing I like about muffins,
14:33 you don't have to have electric mixer.
14:35 You can just mix it up with the wire whisk
14:38 or even a spoon or a fork.
14:39 Oh, that's good news, that's good news for Linda.
14:42 Yeah.
14:43 Linda's not our gadget queen at all.
14:46 She is not, Brenda and I are the gadgets.
14:47 We are like--
14:48 Although I think you do like our garlic press we just got.
14:52 Oh, yeah. So, yeah.
14:54 Okay. This is not electric.
14:55 Yeah, no--
14:57 That's probably why she likes it.
14:59 That's true. Okay, so now--
15:00 I don't like all the noise I mean--
15:02 You ready for this?
15:03 Cooking should not be so stressful.
15:04 Now, we're just gonna add the Linketts
15:08 straight to that have been cut
15:09 nicely in the rounds, thank you, sis.
15:10 You are welcome.
15:11 And we're just gonna full those in
15:13 and then if you'd spray the muffin
15:15 with the nonstick muffins pans over there
15:17 with the nonstick kind of cooking spray,
15:19 and then just fold in like that, isn't that cool?
15:25 Also after you spray,
15:27 you really need to take a paper towel and wipe the top off.
15:30 That's right.
15:32 So that this spray does is, it saves your pan from burning,
15:35 if you will just take a--
15:36 A lot of scrubbing later.
15:37 Exactly, so I always spray to make sure
15:40 you get the inside really good
15:42 and then wipe this off because it's much easier.
15:45 Then you can take like a fourth a cup of batter
15:48 and fill them up like that.
15:49 And it's gonna bake at 350 degrees
15:53 for about 25 to 30 minutes and they're done.
15:58 Take 'em out of the pan and if you leave them in the pan
16:01 they'll kind of sweat into moist.
16:03 Take 'em out of the pan and serve hot, they are wonderful
16:06 and you can even put a little ketchup on there
16:08 if you want to dip 'em into but those are corn dark muffins.
16:12 Wow.
16:13 Now. Well.
16:15 Next we have Sriracha hot dog popper.
16:22 I like doing that.
16:24 Poppers.
16:27 Let me read the recipe. You'll need:
16:47 Now, if you don't have
16:48 the Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls
16:51 and I'm using the reduced fat version.
16:53 You can use your homemade biscuit dough,
16:56 you can use bread dough if you want.
16:58 I've made it with both of those and I like it.
17:00 Exactly. But--
17:02 This is just the fast and easy way, that is vegan way.
17:04 And that's just a vegan brand.
17:05 This-- Woo-hoo, did you see that?
17:09 I called them poppers, you heard it.
17:11 It popped in, did you see that.
17:14 I taught her 8 year old grandson Jason,
17:18 he'll come in and I'll say Jason are you hungry?
17:22 'Cause they come after school,
17:23 and he goes, aunty, it's okay
17:25 I got it covered, I'll make my snack.
17:28 And he goes I thought him how to do this,
17:30 and he goes in and he unrolls it
17:32 and he makes them all by himself.
17:33 He loves them.
17:34 Now, her grandsons are--
17:37 I mean obviously they are with her and I a lot,
17:41 so they like hot and spicy stuff so--
17:43 They do.
17:44 They actually will put the Sriracha on their.
17:48 So, it's almost like a macho thing between them,
17:50 they're like who can have it--
17:52 And every once in a while,
17:54 Jason will run to the water fountain,
17:56 to my-- to my, I have a water cooler,
17:58 and he'll run to my water cooler and get a drink.
18:02 Okay.
18:03 Now, you said these are vegan, right?
18:04 These are vegan. Yes.
18:05 So what you'll do is unroll it.
18:07 If you want to check your label if you're using other brands,
18:10 'cause not all of them are.
18:12 So I'm going to unroll it and then I take a knife,
18:17 you can't pull it but sometimes it's just really soft
18:20 and I want a nice clean.
18:22 So I just cut along were they have it perforated,
18:25 cut along the dotted line.
18:27 There you go.
18:29 And stay in the line. There we go.
18:36 It's so funny that Jason makes these,
18:38 I mean a lot for his afternoon snack.
18:42 They come over to do chores on my farm, our farm.
18:46 I've called him at the store before and say
18:49 and Jason and Michael answer phone saying,
18:51 grandma they said, I'll say,
18:53 did you pick up some, some crescent rolls?
18:57 I know what they want to make.
19:00 And it's funny because they'll come over to my house
19:04 or I mean they'll come in after school.
19:06 And they'll come in and they'll and I'll--
19:08 when I say do you want a snack?
19:10 And Becky your daughter says the other day she goes,
19:14 Jason you need to ask aunty if she has any hot dogs
19:18 and if she has any crescent rolls
19:19 he looks and he goes, seriously mom?
19:23 We're talking about Aunty Cinda here.
19:28 She always has them. Yes, she has.
19:32 I doesn't have always, but she does.
19:36 It's so important to do special things for our kids.
19:38 Yes, it is. It is.
19:40 You know, as it builds, it builds something,
19:42 it builds that love between the two of you,
19:45 when they know I'm really special,
19:47 you really care about me.
19:48 Yes, it is. Okay.
19:50 Just, thinking about how special
19:53 when the kids care about them.
19:54 I came back from taping our Kids Time
19:57 and the first thing I walk in the door
19:58 and Jason says, well, grandma did you talked about me?
20:05 I say as a matter of fact Jason yes, I did.
20:08 He goes like this, she loves me.
20:12 He is such a-- He is so funny.
20:13 He is--
20:15 Okay, I'm gonna give you the one that I didn't tear.
20:17 Can you cut? All right.
20:20 Linketts in half. Like that.
20:23 And we are using the Linketts product and you can use--
20:27 Their favorite one.
20:28 That's yeah, that's their favorite.
20:29 You can use-- if you can't find that brand,
20:32 you can use a different brand.
20:34 But obviously we like that one.
20:37 Yes. So--
20:38 It's just how you want it? Yes, thank you.
20:40 If your dough like when you open it up,
20:42 it kind of makes a hole like this
20:44 and gets out of shape like that.
20:46 You just, I mean it's dough, you can just reshape it
20:49 and press it together and you are fine,
20:52 don't stress about it, okay.
20:54 So now we're gonna take our Sriracha sauce
20:57 and just kind of put it and out.
21:00 You don't want to--
21:02 I like to use a lot but you don't have to use a lot,
21:06 if you don't want because a lot goes a long ways, okay.
21:09 If they didn't want that,
21:11 could they put like a little ketchup on it?
21:13 Or leave it all out together.
21:14 You could leave it out all together.
21:16 It's just--
21:18 There, sis, I'm gonna give you one to roll too.
21:21 Okay, now what you'll do
21:22 and also same with the vegan cheese,
21:26 you don't have to use the vegan cheese if you don't want to.
21:29 You can just do the hot dog, so you can just--
21:32 do it to your taste and whatever you like.
21:35 Okay, so we're gonna put a little bit of cheese,
21:38 put a little bit of cheese, sis--
21:40 And we'll make one without. Okay, there's yours.
21:43 And then-- now what I--
21:46 you can roll this up anyway you want.
21:47 What I do is, I kind of fold the ins in like this,
21:51 just a seal.
21:54 If you are using cheese so it doesn't melt out all over
21:58 and then just roll it like this,
22:02 put it on, I put it on parchment paper
22:05 but and then I take a little bit of corn meal,
22:08 sprinkle it over the top.
22:10 And here's one with-- within there's no cheese.
22:14 You just roll them straight up,
22:16 and it looks more almost like a crescent roll style.
22:20 And you can still do the corn.
22:23 See how easy it is, and get your-- get your kids,
22:27 get any young ones that you have,
22:30 to make this, make this with you.
22:33 And like Linda, I think it was Linda
22:35 that said instead of Sriracha put ketchup in there.
22:39 You know, it works great.
22:42 I'm gonna go like this and then we're gonna show you,
22:45 you put this in the oven at 375 degrees
22:48 for 11 to 13, 14 minutes
22:52 until they are golden brown and that's all the rest to it.
22:56 And these are good warm
22:58 and they are also good on room temperature.
23:01 So you can make them
23:02 and then take them out to a picnic if you have,
23:06 you know or to a ballgame that you will fell like a--
23:08 you're gonna do a ballgame.
23:09 Take them out to the ballgame. Take them out to the ballgame!
23:12 Well, something you don't normally have a ballgame,
23:15 but you're gonna want maybe there at the ballgame
23:17 is Linda's, she's got Veggie Dog Sushi.
23:21 Yeah.
23:22 Okay, Cinda, can you read that for me?
23:24 I'll be happy to. You will need:
23:58 When we were making up the recipes
24:00 for our Kellogg's cook, the Kellogg's cookbook.
24:03 I said to my brother Ken, I said I need an appetizer,
24:06 what can I do and he says, oh, make sushi,
24:09 I make that all the time and it's really good.
24:12 Well, I didn't know that it's such an art,
24:14 there is so much to it.
24:16 You know I mean so--
24:18 Our brother Ken is a really good cook.
24:20 He is very good.
24:22 We keep trying to get him to come
24:24 and be on the program with us.
24:25 And we have not been able to talk him into it yet.
24:28 No. So--
24:30 One person did write him and tell him.
24:32 If any of you can talk him into and we would love that.
24:36 He really, really is get him,
24:37 while I'm telling you about him,
24:38 I'm gonna have you cut the cucumbers into thin strips
24:42 and if you can cut the red pepper into thin strips,
24:45 and then a little bit of the avocado.
24:46 So--
24:48 You got a pretty red pepper too, I love this.
24:50 Gorgeous color,
24:51 I mean God made so many incredible colors for us
24:55 and it's all good nutrition so I love that.
24:58 Anyways, so when I was making them up,
25:03 our friend Siku.
25:05 She also is a graphic designer for a lot of the--
25:10 for all the children's programs that we have.
25:11 She did the graphic design
25:13 for the cover of our Kellogg's cookbook.
25:15 Yes. I wouldn't say she--
25:17 That's right, and so and we love her so much and she says,
25:21 well, hey, there is an art to this, you got to do this.
25:23 So we'll see if I can get it just like she showed me,
25:28 but if not, guys it's so good just enjoying.
25:31 She told me you passed her cooking school.
25:33 See, I did. Yeah.
25:34 Yeah. She told me.
25:35 My son David makes sushi all the time.
25:38 Does he? Yeah, he and Catie love this.
25:41 Well, don't expect me to do it perfect, like--
25:44 oh my, I've got some Korean girls in my dorm
25:47 that are quite good cooks.
25:48 They always get together
25:50 and they make a lot of good food, it smells so good.
25:52 So now, but.
25:54 Okay, I'm gonna take it,
25:55 I'm gonna pour some water on the mat.
25:57 Yes.
25:59 But you know what, you can--
26:00 this encourages those who've never made sushi before.
26:04 Don't stress about it, don't worry about it,
26:07 you don't have to be,
26:09 you know, like an awesome chef to do it.
26:13 Now, with my sushi rice.
26:16 I just want to make sure I'm doing a good job here.
26:18 Yeah, more like-- that's pretty good.
26:22 So do you want to throw this part away?
26:24 Not like that, we can eat it in the salad or something.
26:27 Now this is good.
26:28 Okay, so I like to add to my sushi rice
26:32 a little bit more of veggie's liquid aminos.
26:36 And what I like to do with that,
26:38 I put this in when I cooked the sushi rice.
26:40 I put it in there
26:41 and I put a little bit of seasoning
26:43 and things in my water.
26:46 And by the way there is a special rice
26:49 that is called sushi rice.
26:52 It's a moisture sticky rice and it'll stick together.
26:55 If you use just any type of rice,
26:58 it is not going to work for you.
27:00 I mean, because it just, it won't stick together
27:03 and that's you need that.
27:05 Okay. You need the sushi rice.
27:07 Christie told me that one thing I had to do
27:10 is I have to put it across first like this.
27:13 So I go across like that
27:16 and you might need a little bit of water,
27:18 that's what the water is for and put it across like that.
27:21 Then I go adown the left side.
27:24 Now, I'm not sure why I do this but except she told me this,
27:27 this is what I'm supposed to do.
27:28 Okay, so I put it all the way down.
27:31 All right.
27:32 And then she told me, then you go to the right side.
27:35 And you put it all the way down the right side.
27:38 You just have to wet your hands a little bit,
27:41 you put that down.
27:42 And then when you've done that,
27:44 then you fill up the middle.
27:46 Wow, okay.
27:48 Yeah, she's really good at this,
27:49 I mean she need a lot of 'em.
27:52 I want to know did our brother Kenny do it this way.
27:54 You know I didn't see him do it like that,
27:56 but I honestly I don't know
27:58 if I really saw him put one together.
28:00 He just told me, hey, sis, make this, it's great.
28:02 I'm like, okay.
28:05 So, see any of you just try it, it's just, it's a wonderful.
28:10 Have fun in the kitchen.
28:11 That's right.
28:12 That's what it's all about is having fun.
28:14 Okay.
28:15 And if you're little nervous
28:16 or timid about having fun in the kitchen,
28:18 invite your neighbor, your friend
28:19 or somebody that you know just that--
28:21 somebody maybe that you know,
28:22 doesn't get out much or is lonely
28:24 or somebody you saw at church that look they are sad.
28:26 And invite them over and say, hey, you know,
28:28 can we make some sushi together?
28:29 Doesn't matter if neither one of you've done it before,
28:31 let's have fun doing it.
28:32 And you will have fun.
28:34 Okay, now I've got some peppers on the middle,
28:36 we'll do some avocado.
28:39 You know what I did, when I moved--
28:40 Sis, if you could make me some strips.
28:42 When I first moved to Nashville,
28:44 I wanted to get to know people,
28:46 so I invited several couples to join a cooking club.
28:52 And I called it a Cooking Club.
28:54 And we met at-- we rotated each others houses
28:57 and we met every month.
28:59 And we each had to make a different recipe
29:02 and we would cook together and eat together
29:06 and we became the best of friends.
29:08 And you might want to try that
29:10 if there's people that you would like to get to know.
29:12 Because when you are cooking and just having fun or relaxing
29:16 you are actually bonding and making friends.
29:19 That's true, and what better way to do it
29:21 than over a cooking and help with food.
29:24 We're making these in strips,
29:27 I cut it in half and then I laid it on its side
29:30 and I cut again, so I'm just--.
29:33 And I'm putting everything in the middle.
29:35 Okay, here are your avocado strips.
29:37 I got my avocado strips going on down here.
29:41 Okay.
29:42 And you can really put your favorite vegetable in here
29:45 whatever you like.
29:46 All right, now.
29:47 Avocado is very common for sushi rolls.
29:51 And I'm going to-- The vegetarian ones.
29:54 Start rolling it,
29:56 and I'm gonna roll it up pretty tight.
30:00 Okay, now I'm gonna hold all these vegetables like that.
30:04 And see, I'm still rolling.
30:07 Okay, I've got it pretty, it's pretty good size here.
30:10 Okay, and then I'm gonna take this mat
30:12 and I'm gonna push it over like this.
30:15 And press.
30:17 And press it.
30:19 Then turn it a little bit more.
30:21 That is the coolest thing, isn't it?
30:23 And then press it down.
30:25 Cinda found these.
30:27 Good job, sis.
30:28 Okay.
30:30 And then we're gonna put it on the board,
30:32 make it these up here.
30:34 So we got it right here.
30:36 Okay, we're gonna put it around here.
30:38 Actually, is there, was it a bigger knife?
30:41 I thought we had a bigger one.
30:42 Okay, we'll just do it like this.
30:44 'Cause you really do need a sharp knife.
30:46 I'm gonna cut it in the middle.
30:48 Look, see how it is in the middle now.
30:50 Wow.
30:51 And now I'm gonna cut it probably
30:53 and get about four pieces out of here.
30:56 And you really do need a sharp knife.
30:58 So you're making them a little bit thick,
31:00 they're like one inch thick.
31:01 Yeah.
31:02 Well, you can make them as thin as you want.
31:06 And then you just--
31:08 And then see, I'll do another one.
31:10 They're pretty.
31:11 And they keep too, Ken will make some,
31:15 he'll make them even the day before, put them in,
31:17 when I go in for mom's fridge and when I come to see her,
31:20 I get to have these to eat. And I love them.
31:24 Now, also if you're not a lover of seaweed,
31:28 they also in oriental markets,
31:30 they have a soy type of wrap
31:34 and you can use that instead of the seaweed.
31:38 That's good, too.
31:39 And now see that would end one,
31:41 we'll go back over here
31:42 and we'll cut another one, like that.
31:45 That's basically all you have to do
31:49 and you have it done and you can put them away
31:52 and then you can put them in the fridge
31:53 and when you want them,
31:54 take them out and eat them cold.
31:55 And I like the ones you have there.
31:57 And we have some plated for you to look at.
31:58 And some garnish with some little carrot roses,
32:01 ain't that pretty?
32:05 Oh, look at that.
32:06 They're beautiful. Sis, that looks so good.
32:09 Yeah, they're delicious. Awesome.
32:11 So thank you, Siku, and thank you Brother Ken.
32:14 And I hope you'll make some and enjoy it too.
32:17 Now what do we have next?
32:18 We're going back out to the ball field
32:20 because we're gonna have Ball Park Pinwheels.
32:23 Let me read the recipe for you.
32:24 For this you will need:
32:54 Oh! What?
32:55 Base is loaded.
32:56 Cinda steps up for the play! Ready to go.
32:59 Swing batter, swing batter, swing.
33:00 Whoa! Swing!
33:02 It's going. It's going.
33:04 Cinda's done it again. Homerun!
33:12 And that's the fun you need to have in the kitchen, truly.
33:14 Everybody needs to dream.
33:18 Well, these make wonderful appetizers.
33:20 I love these, just take any biscuit dough,
33:23 make a homemade biscuit dough if you want,
33:24 you can use a refrigerated biscuit dough.
33:27 These are some reduced fat wholegrain
33:29 biscuit dough that I have here.
33:32 But we're gonna make our filling first
33:34 and it's so fast and easy to make.
33:36 We already have our precooked onions
33:38 and these onions are, nothing wrong in them,
33:41 so you're going to put the onions in
33:43 and you are going to then put in
33:46 each one of these ingredients.
33:47 While she is doing that,
33:49 my sister Cinda is really good at sports and she--
33:53 that's 'cause she can really hit that grand slam
33:56 and you're gonna just hit a wonderful grand slam
33:58 right now with mashing.
34:00 She's gonna just use that masher, we've got--
34:02 I really used to play on a city league baseball team.
34:06 And again we're using
34:07 our Loma Linda Linketts right here for this.
34:10 And she, we're just using a hand masher,
34:12 you can use a food processor if you want.
34:15 But then you would miss out all--
34:17 You'd miss out on all this fun.
34:19 See, where you're just mashing up
34:20 and you're just gonna just keep on mashing over there.
34:23 I've got green chilies and jalapenos.
34:25 Yeah, just keep, keep adding all that,
34:27 just a little of our agave nectar.
34:30 And then, and then you...
34:33 Seasoning?
34:34 Yeah, put all of this,
34:35 Cholula sauce and agave nectar and then...
34:44 Whistle while you work.
34:45 You know, I could do that
34:48 except I never learnt how to whistle.
34:50 I couldn't whistle.
34:51 My life depended on it.
34:53 Do you know that when I was first married,
34:58 one of the things we did every single night
35:01 was go to the park--
35:02 And whistle?
35:04 No, I did not whistle.
35:07 My husband bought me a glove, a baseball glove.
35:10 And he had one and we'd play catch every night.
35:13 Really?
35:14 Every night. Who knew?
35:15 You get good at it? I actually did.
35:17 I was afraid not to catch it
35:19 because I want him to keep happy.
35:22 Do you know what my problem is when a ball comes at me?
35:24 And this is-- I know.
35:26 Okay, I'll do a reenactment of Brenda.
35:30 Aw!
35:33 No, I get scared when the ball comes at me.
35:36 Did I not tell you?
35:37 And I'd close my eyes so then I just close my eyes,
35:39 I just stand and close my eyes.
35:41 And they're like, swing, swing, swing
35:42 and so I'd been hit with that balls few times, you know.
35:45 I actually got really pretty good at it.
35:48 But then-- I'm proud of you.
35:50 Right, and then, you know, Jimmy came along
35:52 and when he-- from the time he was little,
35:56 he got him one so he could play catch
35:57 and then Jimmy got pretty good
35:58 so I sort of backed out of the picture.
36:04 All right then.
36:05 All right, so just mix all that up.
36:08 But it was neat because it was a fun thing to do together,
36:12 you know, sometimes, you know,
36:13 all people think that you can do it together,
36:16 sit down and watch a video or movie or TV or something,
36:20 and really you can get out
36:21 and do some fun things together.
36:23 Exactly.
36:24 All right. There you go.
36:25 Now just mashing away. It's done, it's done.
36:28 Okay.
36:29 You give me a job to do.
36:30 Now here we go. I get it done.
36:32 All right, now you're gonna add this with that.
36:37 Here, I'll do that.
36:38 Hold it this way and we'll just put it all in there.
36:41 Make it easy for you
36:42 and then you can mix it all together with this.
36:49 Okay?
36:50 Just put that over there.
36:52 And while she's just gonna mix that all together,
36:56 and that's our filling, we don't need anything else.
36:59 So now you're gonna take a biscuit and this is one,
37:03 it's just a whole wheat refrigerated one
37:05 and you can either pull it out like this.
37:07 Or Brenda steps up to the play!
37:10 There you go. Or you can roll it.
37:12 We have our slugger!
37:15 I don't know what she slugs but...
37:18 Hey, I...
37:24 I can admire-
37:25 So you're making it in a circle.
37:26 No, it's actually just like I try to get it like--
37:29 Rectangle?
37:30 Yeah, try to get it like a rectangle,
37:32 don't have to be perfect.
37:33 And what we're gonna do is
37:35 you're going to take a little of this
37:38 and couple of tablespoons
37:40 and you are going to just spread
37:43 a little bit on here, okay?
37:46 So you just spread it all around
37:47 and leave a little bit down here,
37:50 leave this like a line right here,
37:52 an invisible line so that you can seal it, okay?
37:56 'Cause I found that if you don't seal it,
37:58 then what happens is--
38:00 It bakes all around the cookie sheet.
38:02 Well, no, it just doesn't stay in a pinwheel,
38:05 it kind of just looks like...
38:07 take down and look at it own like--
38:09 Kind of looks like a train wreck?
38:11 More common, kind of like a comma.
38:14 So here's what we're doing, we're just gonna take this
38:16 and we're gonna start here and we're just gonna roll it
38:19 and pinch it down in
38:20 and so that you get a nice, tight circle.
38:24 You're gonna have a nice pretty pinwheel.
38:26 So you're just gonna keep it going and keep rolling
38:29 and when you get to the edge,
38:31 see how you're going to just seal that right there,
38:34 just kind of--
38:35 That looks pretty good.
38:37 Just see-- And if you let the-
38:40 if you don't keep some of that clear,
38:41 it doesn't seal well and then it doesn't bake well.
38:44 So then, now we've got that, we're just gonna cut it in half
38:48 and then you're gonna cut it in thirds like that.
38:53 And you're baking it on parchment paper too,
38:58 and parchment paper because I like the way
39:00 and I just put it down like that just the tiny bit.
39:03 And put it about two inches apart
39:07 and so, see like that,
39:10 can you see the nice little pinwheels like that?
39:14 I do. Yeah.
39:16 And you just keep doing that, fill it up.
39:18 And you're gonna bake this at 400 degrees
39:21 for about 10 minutes.
39:24 And is that what it is or--
39:26 Depending on your oven but watch it
39:27 because you don't want them to get overdone.
39:29 My assistant is off camera, and too shy to come on,
39:32 so let me just check with her.
39:33 Is that what I'm doing, Melissa?
39:35 Oh, she said I did good.
39:36 So it's 400 degrees for about 10 minutes,
39:38 just as golden brown and they're wonderful,
39:42 hot out of the oven or even room temperature later,
39:45 they're wonderful outdoors.
39:46 Here is some already plated up, ready for you to eat.
39:50 You know, sis, I may have to just see
39:54 if these taste good at room temperature.
39:56 Oh, she's gonna take one.
39:57 Yeah, you know, I just have to--
40:00 you know, I'm there for you.
40:02 I just need to see.
40:03 Yeah, there it is, drum roll.
40:10 That's really good.
40:11 Woo-hoo!
40:13 Homerun!
40:14 Homerun!
40:15 Now I can say bat her up,
40:17 I can't bat with the real bat but I can use--.
40:20 Whoa!
40:23 All right, maybe I'll stick to cooking.
40:26 That's a good idea.
40:27 Well, Linda, right as Cinda has.
40:29 What your homerun sandwich coming up next?
40:31 Oh, oh.
40:33 Could you read this for me, I'm a little bit busy?
40:35 All right.
40:36 For the homerun sandwich you will need:
40:53 This is the recipe that we grew up eating.
40:57 Because mom made this for us for sandwiches for our lunch,
41:02 for picnics and I chose today--
41:05 She will use Linketts with it.
41:08 She will use, you know,
41:09 some of the different veggie Linketts,
41:13 not Linketts--
41:15 We're so used to use Linkets.
41:16 Does you use Linketts or Big Franks.
41:18 Well, I chose big franks sticks 'cause daddy likes Big Franks.
41:21 Yes.
41:22 That is his favorite.
41:23 And so this is the Big Franks
41:25 and big franks is what Linda used in the sushi too.
41:29 Yes. That's right.
41:30 So-- But you have--
41:32 If you have a preference and you tried them both,
41:34 you can interchange them, it's not a problem.
41:35 Right.
41:37 You know, that's what is so awesome about this cookbook
41:41 is because you, a lot of people,
41:43 they'll say we see these products on the shelf
41:47 or in the frozen section and you think.
41:50 Oh, what do we do with this?
41:52 Oh, I can only put this in a hot dog bun
41:55 or I can only put, you know, a chicken patty
41:59 or griller in a hamburger bun.
42:02 And whoever thought you could put it in a muffin.
42:04 And so exactly or sushi.
42:07 Yeah, I know.
42:08 You know, and so that's what so exciting
42:10 about this cookbook is we're showing you.
42:14 Exactly. Right.
42:16 Other ways you can use these products,
42:18 and really delicious you know, interesting ways too.
42:23 That's right. So I'm gonna get started.
42:26 Now, you can use the potato masher
42:29 and since Brenda just used the potato masher I decided--.
42:32 I think Cinda did a really good job.
42:34 Oh, yes.
42:35 Since I just used the potato masher,
42:40 another way you can use this
42:41 if you don't have a food processor is a grater.
42:45 And so I'm gonna use a grater, and so just take your--
42:53 now I don't let the kids help me with this
42:55 so if you're gonna do the grater.
42:58 'Cause we wanted to stay a vegan vegetarian products.
43:03 We don't need any cuts or--
43:04 We don't need anything like that.
43:05 Finger in there at all.
43:07 So if you're gonna let you children help you,
43:10 have them use the masher because that will be--.
43:13 Safer.
43:15 But honestly, I do like the texture that this gives.
43:19 And I don't want you guys to have this left out feelings
43:24 so here, I want you to see how you do.
43:29 Oh, they're gonna grab their gloves.
43:31 Yes, I am. You just watch this.
43:33 Yes, I am.
43:34 Kitchen gloves are the best, I love 'em.
43:38 And it keeps your food all nice and sanitary
43:41 and you know it's--
43:42 I like clean food, don't you?
43:44 Well, I don't like piece--
43:46 chunks of skin in my food either.
43:48 No, we don't want that either.
43:51 So seriously don't let your kids
43:53 use the grater unless they are older
43:55 because it is really easy to slip when you're doing this.
44:02 So they actually would have fun with the potato masher.
44:07 And there is different kinds of potato mashers too.
44:10 The one I used today
44:11 I think takes a little bit more a muscle
44:14 where as they have other options of them that don't--
44:16 that aren't as hard to use it either.
44:18 Doesn't take us long and they are quicker.
44:19 You know, so I think that's fine too,
44:21 and also your food processor.
44:22 A lot of people have food processors
44:24 and there are couple that will, you know,
44:26 push of the button and it's done.
44:28 So you know if somebody says,
44:30 oh, I don't have time for all that.
44:31 Exactly. A food processor.
44:34 But you got to be careful with food processor,
44:36 because you'll turn it into a paste.
44:38 I mean, you just a couple little spins
44:41 and crumbles it up and grinds it up.
44:44 But if you aren't paying attention and you get going,
44:46 you're gonna have a mushy pastiness.
44:49 We don't want that, no. Yeah, no, no.
44:51 You know, when I make this sometimes I'll put
44:55 like chopped up garden vegetables really fine,
44:58 you know, like peppers and things like that
45:01 and then I'll take my bread dough
45:03 and I will make calzones out of 'em.
45:05 I'll put the spread--. Oh, yes
45:06 Oh! Yes.
45:08 I'll put like a vegenaise in here.
45:09 Haven't done that in a while actually,
45:10 that's the good idea.
45:11 Yeah, I'll take a bit.
45:13 I think it's been a long time since I've done that.
45:15 Linda, why don't you make us some of those?
45:17 Yeah.
45:19 Would you like some?
45:20 I mixed the vegenaise and everything in it
45:22 and then I put it in calzones
45:24 and I make a variety of calzones,
45:26 you know, different things in it
45:28 and this one that really does taste good
45:30 in the oven baked in one of those.
45:32 And can I tell you, if you're gonna grate this,
45:34 the one with the bigger grater is easier to do, just saying.
45:38 I had an easy time.
45:39 Yeah, you had the bigger, she has a larger grater one.
45:45 That's good.
45:46 All right. Perfect.
45:47 You want some of this, Cinda?
45:48 So now, add-- I add the sweet pickle relish.
45:53 And of course, if you don't like the spice,
45:56 you do not have to add the Sriracha sauce.
46:01 But of course, we're gonna add the Sriracha sauce.
46:07 And then our grapeseed Vegenaise.
46:12 Which-- It is just delicious.
46:14 It's so flavorful.
46:16 Alternative to regular mayonnaise.
46:21 And then you can actually serve this
46:25 in any kind of bread that you like.
46:30 But actually when we were--
46:33 when I was in our prep kitchen here in the back of this set,
46:39 I was taken out some bread and Brenda goes,
46:43 sis, that would really be cool
46:46 if you put those in hot dog buns.
46:48 And I was like, sure, that's a good idea.
46:52 So, see why it's so good to have sisters around you.
46:58 One thing that I like to do with this bread,
47:01 is I'll take a hot dog bun,
47:03 cut it all the way, you know, separate,
47:06 and then I will put some vegan cheese in there
47:09 and mix it around, I'll spread it on here
47:10 and then I broil it in the oven.
47:13 And they are hot open-- That's a good idea.
47:15 They are hot open face sandwiches
47:17 and they are delicious.
47:19 Now, I got to show you one more way
47:20 that I like to do these things.
47:22 See, we're giving you all these little ideas
47:24 is that I take the whole and I don't slice it in two.
47:27 I slice it this way and this way like a V.
47:31 Like a boat.
47:32 And then I, and then I take the top off like I'm making a--
47:35 A boat. Like a canoe.
47:37 Fill it up, put it back on
47:39 and then you got a sandwich there, see.
47:42 Well, would you like to see what I like to do?
47:44 Yes, it is a recipe.
47:48 We're giving you all these great ideas here.
47:50 I like to put it in like this, just like this.
47:59 I like to stuff it full 'cause you can--
48:03 you know, you got to have it stuff full,
48:05 and then I like to go like this.
48:12 She does like that.
48:18 Well. Would you like to taste that?
48:20 Pardon me.
48:21 No, no, no, that's good.
48:23 We're good, I'll try that later.
48:28 No, I'll try it later.
48:30 But what we could do is tell the folks at home,
48:34 we have, we have actually--
48:36 I'm little busy. Yes.
48:38 We actually have six cookbooks out.
